    Arduino 4L80e controller

    Not sure what you are referencing but the 6L80 was meant to work with all the high output V8s. It's good for like 600hp stock. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Arduino 4L80e controller

    With the cost of an off the shelf 4L80 controller, I would consider a 6L80 instead. Sure itnis more money but why not have a 4:1 first gear and dual overdrives? I am really trying ti convince myself to stick with an NV4500 but that 6 speed sure would make the 6.2 more tolerable in every regard...

    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Uh... you can buy a Duramax with a truck attached to it for that kind of money. [emoji41] Im thinking a forced induction Raylar 8.1 for the same money is the hot ticket. Cant polish a turd. This way you can haul and drag race. As long as there is a fuel stop along the way. Sent from my SM-T380...

    Crew cab frame and cab. The rest is little details. Even a 2wd frame would work. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    La Burrita...🤣🤣🤣 That is priceless! I think long term I want to turn it into a crew cab and maybe a tuned up 4bt if the 6.2 ever goes. But then again I don't have kids yet and my other truck is a nine passenger Suburban. So pipe dream for now. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Looks good I can't get rid of my generator. I like looking at it. I decided to outfit my Suburban to sleep in it. Little more glass, little more inviting. But I think the M1031 is the best and most versatile truck made. Of course that is opinion because I have one. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus...

    Snuggle right up to the generator for a good nights sleep! For some reason everytime I climb in the back of the service box I find something sharp with the top of my head... Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    Newest CUCV equivalent?

    Clearly someone in the transport department is on an illegal substance. That thing is hilarious! Has anyone ever seen a picture of ISIS? Surely our government thinks GM is the equivalent to Toyota in the combat department. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    Wow that is almost stupid money! Clearly the pricing reflects government contract of fleet replacement when the checkbook doesnt have your name on it. Call me crazy but if you want a Navistar V8 diesel a Ford or Schoolbus probably has a cheaper option[emoji41] I guess if you are looking for a...

    Rust is the enemy!

    This is great shape for where I live. Wire wheel on surface rust. Prime, paint, then apply oil. No rubberized undercoat garbage. Fender is going to need a welder or panel replacement. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Fuel issues

    Here is my take... Time is money and I would think anyone wants a reliable vehicle to not let them down. After all this is a work or play truck and not like a race car. So you may be able to narrow this down to a plugged sock or something. Is the pump leaking at all? Realistically if you were...

    6.2 engine swap minimum inspection list

    I forget exactly but the updated plugs are ACG60s I think. They are the same as the factory plug but self limiting which eliminated swelling. They do require crimping a new terminal on the wire as the spade is slightly wider. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Fuel issues

    Sounds like they are taking you for a ride. Bypass the fuel sock. If it still happens you probably just need an IP. I would think maybe $800 for a reman pump and 4 hours of labor is fair. $3500 is like more the double what it should be. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    1986 CUCV Gen 2. Right side isolated ground alternator

    I think the only difference is the plastic washers on the ground connection inside. You can convert what you have. Or just put your standard alternator in the 12v position and put the isolated ground on the 24v position. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Charging System upgrade (?)

    But what you are saying is I'm trying to engineer a 24v charging system on a truck that is literally 99% 12v by only having one 24v alternator. To me that isn't great engineering. I get why people keep the stock 24v system but the stock system is two 12v systems in series. A lot of redundancy...

    Charging System upgrade (?)

    Still not sure how they f'd the rotor up. You can rebuild the entire thing with a 10mm socket and a paper clip. Only the bearings require force but even then they are little. I guess if you want to sure but you say you are doing this for simplicity but still need a DC to DC converter to run...
